Methodology and freshness

How this directory is maintained

Reviewed

Inclusion criteria: This is a sampled directory, not an exhaustive catalog or a ranking. The pilot includes developer-facing API clients and API testing products with current official product, documentation, or pricing sources that can be reviewed directly.

Freshness policy: Every modeled fact carries a source-linked verification state. When an official source does not support a claim clearly enough, the field stays Unknown instead of being inferred. Pricing and free-plan facts are reviewed on the shortest cadence; platform, API, integration, and other product facts follow the shared Directory freshness policy.
